Subject: Info on Unix Domain Socket Device
Date: Sat, 29 May 2010 22:41:03 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTikLLu5L2k5osS-S0_flS4HFjEVF29Um3iAeiUXS@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

There is a small scale TODO task in kvm, 'Add a Unix domain socket
device. With this, the guest can talk to a pci device which is
connected to a Unix domain socket on the host.'. I would like to park
on this and contribute a patch. If any one is also planning to to do
this, we can coordinate and accomplish the task.

I understand that using existing iodev infrastructure the unix domain
sockets can be made available to guests as kvm_io_device.

I would be great if anyone can provide more information/inputs on the
problem and use-cases to be addressed.

Thanks,
Narendra.
